Why Become a Certified Exercise Recovery Specialist?

As the awareness and emerging trend of recovery continues to grow, the fitness industry is realizing it is so much more than just stretching, foam rolling and scheduling rest days. Although trainers may realize the importance of emerging recovery techniques, they need a foundational knowledge of the science and the ability to make these holistic health recommendations. Applying the elements of recovery are just as crucial to training programs as the physical activity components. As a Certified Exercise Recovery Specialist, you will deliver a unified approach with clients to get them feeling, looking, and performing their best.

Mastering this cutting-edge topic will send you to the top of the trainer leaderboard, and have clients turning to you as the expert in the latest fitness advancement.

When you specialize in Exercise Recovery, you offer a paramount service to clients. This means you can increase your rates AND have a new, standalone service offering.
